This science video podcast looks at how you can utilise a cheap telescope and a camera or video tripod to get a decent view of the heavens. This year is the International Year of Astronomy (IYA) and if you don't already own a telescope then you have the opportunity of purchasing a ridiculously cheap, good quality telescope, the Galileoscope, from www.galileoscope.org

Podcast Summary

I have been making my own video podcasts for my upper school chemistry students (www.meaghersclasses.podomatic.com) and physics students (www.meaghersphysics.podomatic.com)
for the last year or so, and decided that it was time for my students to let loose their creativity and produce their own episodes. The podcasts that my year 10 general science students are producing will be posted here. (NOTE: If you can't see the images in these podcasts either download them and view with Quicktime Player, or simply subscribe through iTunes and get each new episode as it is posted.)
Enjoy.
